Tuesday 4 June, meeting at 6pm at the entrance to the Reserve in Stonebridge Lane
Numbers are limited but new faces are very welcome, so if you would like to join the count, please contact the volunteer community warden Peter Montgomery – pete.monty@gmail.com
The count will take place in East Fen Pasture which is still wet in places, so suitable stout shoes/boots are essential, as are long trousers to cope with the long grass and, in places, prickly brush! The count began in 2001 when the total number of orchids was 225. In 2023 this had risen to 3,297! The species to be counted are Marsh (Early and Southern), Bee, Pyramidal and Common Spotted.
